A RUSSIAN officer familiar with the subject,
draws in Life" (London) lurid picture OF the
inner life OF the Russian court Despite the
seasing vigilance of the police, to which the
Gear certainly owed his life the other day, no
such thing as ordinary tranquility or comfort is
known in the imperial household. No one is
trusted, for the Nihilists have their adherents
everywhere, even in the royal kitchen; no food
can be eaten that is not previously tested; no
room can be occupied, even for an hour at
time, without special precautions being taken
against attack by explosives or otherwise. 1t is
never known in what bedroom the Gear will
sleep. Frequently, after being an hour in one
bedroom, he changes to another, and he gener
ally sleeps in a part of the palace, attic or
even a cellar. where he is least likely to be
looked for. 1t might be thought that the En-
perors driving in the open street was proof of
his courage but this is not so. The danger
there is no greater than it is in his study. guard
ed though he be indoors as well as ont of doors
by triple rows of bayonets. Nihism is, in fact,
n spectre that haunts the Emperor night and
day. That life should be worth living at such
price is hardly conceivable to the ordinary mind.
That the Gar should, in such circumstances, be
able to take an intelligent view OF either foreign
or domestic politics is out of the question.
